MICHAEL'S LOOKING TO AIDS CHALLENGE
MICHAEL FAIRS is leading the Worthing young generation forward '” and not only in the world of leading bowls. Do not expect him, though, to be the same Michael Fairs by the end of the summer.
The 19-year-old flagship for Worthing's worryingly meagre new generation of players marked his arrrival in County Championship bowls with his Middleton Cup debut on Saturday. It was a successful one, too. But by the end of the season he expects to be quite a different person.
On July 4 he will be leaving Tarring Priory Bowling Club. To work voluntarily for 23 days in the French-speaking Cameroon with six other young local young people. One of their main activities will be working for 10 days with children orphaned by AIDS.
